Standoff at Bryte Avenue apartment

The incident occurred at an apartment at 815 Bryte Avenue. Police responded when a woman called 911. A dispatcher noted that “banging and yelling” was heard in the background of the 911 call.

A pregnant woman at the scene told an officer that her live-in boyfriend had picked up something heavy inside the apartment, damaged some property, and told her “B—, now I’m going to have to kill you.”

A records check showed that suspect Adam Christopher Rudi, 31, was on searchable probation and was the subject of a restraining order. But “when officers tried to contact Rudi, he ran inside the apartment, barricaded the doors and windows with furniture, and refused to cooperate with lawful orders from officers for approximately four hours,” according to a police report.

The report also alleged:

“During this time, Rudi broke multiple windows, damaged walls and other property inside the residence. . . and threw several large heavy objects out of the windows in the direction of officers. Rudi also threatened to kill officers.”

Rudi was taken into custody without incident to conclude the standoff.
